What they’re saying about Ilene's
Gourmet Typography Workshop:
“Your course was great! Since taking it, I can’t help but look at every book title, magazine headline, and even company logos, trying to find out what they did wrong! And how often that’s the case! It was really helpful and entertaining!”
— Robyn Hinckley
Design Supervisor
“Many thanks, my colleagues and I really got a lot out of the session. We were blown away at how much you were able to accomplish in just one day and what an impact it had. We are definitely seeing more critically. Not only did we pick out all the type faux-pas around Boston, but I was even surprised coming back to Atlanta and reviewing our own work. I really appreciate having been able to be a part of the class, so thanks!”
— Jay Rogers
Art Director
“Your class was exceptional. I will never see letters the same again! What have you done? Hah! Thanks. I would like the designers on my team to attend your class in the future so please keep me posted.”
— Erin Greene
Brand and Design Manager
“Thanks for a great class! I found your class to be both a good refresher, and learned some new things as well. I liked how you would point out something as being wrong – but also talked about the ‘why’ – that helped a lot.
Now that I am working somewhere that cares about good typography, I feel better prepared to wow them. I actually spent time today undoing what my predecessor had done to a brochure – dumb quotes, hyphens...the list goes on!”
— Bob Lodi
Art Director
“Thank you so much for a wonderful type experience. I was so psyched to attend your workshop, and you definitely didn’t let me down! Your expertise is phenomenal. It was an intense yet pleasurable learning experience; the day seemed to fly by. I really do love type, and now I can be confident in my use of type after your workshop.”
— Barbara Fox
